Deployment

Finally, let's build and deploy our block to the cluster.

Under the queue directory, follow these steps:

1. Build the block:

   kb build

   This command creates a dist/ directory with a Helm chart that is ready to deploy to a cluster:

   $ ls dist
   Chart.yaml templates

2. In order for the Terraform AWS provider to be able to access your AWS account, we need to store our AWS credentials in the aws-cerdentials secret:

   kubectl create secret generic aws-credentials \
     --from-literal=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
     --from-literal=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \
     --from-literal=AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1

3. Install the block to your cluster using helm:

   helm upgrade --install queue-block ./dist

4. Wait for the pods to be ready:

   kubectl get pods

   When all pods are ready, you should see something like this (initial installation will likely take some time because images are pulled fresh from the docker registry):

   NAME                                                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   kblocks-queue-control-7b8c7fc5b5-n4bcr                 1/1     Running   0          4m9s
   kblocks-queue-operator-58fd74668b-4vnxj                2/2     Running   0          4m9s
   kblocks-queue-worker-0                                 1/1     Running   0          4m9s

Congratulations! You've successfully created and deployed your first block!
